Chaos in the cosmos! Premiere release of exciting Ron Goodwin score for Walt Disney Production time travel space comedy, loosely based on Mark Twain novel A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court, directed by Russ Mayberry, starring Dennis Dugan, Jim Dale, Ron Moody, Kenneth More (as King Arthur). Energetic tale finds NASA scientist inadvertently launched into space, passing through time warp, landing in England's Camelot during the year 508. Romance with maid Alisande, tangles with Mordred, antics with Merlin, heroics with King Arthur lead to battles and intrigue galore! Ron Goodwin scores largely to period adventure, rousing action of story. Lengthy, climactic battle music highlights with abundance of dazzling brass, rhythmic percussion. Fun to know that Goodwin not only visited legendary Camelot characters here but also in Sword Of Lancelot (aka Lancelot And Guinevere) and Sir Gawain And The Green Knight. Courtesy our friends at Disney, entire CD presented in stereo from 1/4" two-track session mixes engineered by Eric Tomlinson at Anvil Studios in March 1979. Film was originally released in UK as The Spaceman And King Arthur. Colorful packaging designed by Joe Sikoryak, informative liner notes by John Takis. Ron Goodwin conducts. Intrada Special Collection CD available while quantities and interest remains!

I have never seen the film, but I remember a snippet of a song played during TV commercials. I don't see that on there, so maybe it was all a terrible dream. Though I can still sing the song...

What a great release! So glad Intrada keeps the Ron Goodwin coming now that FSM is no more. I do kinda wish there was a flip cover with the original British title (other advantage being that it better describes the plot and sounds like less of a comedy title, and might help sales). I'm guessing there may have been input on Disney's end that they only wanted the U.S. version of the title on the packaging, or something like that.
Keep up the great work, Intrada!

Well, at least then it sounds like a comedy score with sci-fi and fantasy elements! I think "Spaceman" and "King Arthur" in the title each trumps the vague if clever "Unidentified Flying Oddball" with those unfamiliar with the film. And apparently Goodwin played more to the period aspect, which "UFO" doesn't communicate at all.
